Life
The Twelve Senatorial Women are holy martyrs commemorated on 8 July in the synaxarion of the Church of Greece (new style). According to the brief note in the synaxarion, they came to the Christian faith through the miracles of the Great Martyr Procopius and were put to death by the sword, in his time, around the year 303.
Their names are not preserved in the sources consulted. Their memory remains together with that of Saint Procopius, his mother Theodosia and those who believed and confessed Christ through him, Nicostratus and Antiochus.
